The American President was presented with a copy of the ready-to-sell novel by Jonathan Franzen!
And EVERYONE started talking about «Freedom»!
Liberty heroes Patty and Walter are democratic, educated, environmentally conscious and free from prejudice; they have a perfect family. But good intentions do not save them from the upheavals that are fraught with the relations of free people in the family and in society. Precisely, the compassionately written characters embody the traits of the generation that witnessed 9/11, the invasion of Iraq, the sprawl of multinationals, and the 2008 financial crisis. In the novel, which strengthened his fame as the main American novelist, Jonathan Franzen talks about the unattainability of true freedom and how often we sacrifice the most important for the sake of her ghost.
